Chapter 307 – Chevron’s
#307.
Zeng! Damn! Quaang!
The fast-paced battles, with no time to breathe, were very intense.
What about Gaon, who is the party to it? He, of course, had to remain vigilant and focused without even a second to blink.
Cookie light!
A meteor that passed under his feet shattered the floor, spreading a terrible chill.
After the priests of the Healing Church, including the saintess, joined, he didn’t hesitate to attack such a wide area as if he didn’t have enough time.
Thanks to this, the tomb was completely messed up, and it was difficult to find any traces of it except for the tombstone of the first emperor with the holy sword stuck in it.
‘The Holy Sword is amazing.’
It was surprising that even though it was difficult for the owner to show his true power after his death, the fact that the remains were safely protected from the magic of the Arch Reach.
At that level, the power that will be exerted when it regains a new owner will be beyond imagination.
In fact, he had seen it in his previous life.
‘Herencia…’
At the time of the first playthrough, the one who played a big role in this fight was Hirencia, who was chosen by the holy sword.
Thanks to this, it was possible to safely return the remains of the first emperor, and he succeeded in closing the rift by sealing the Arch Reach as well.
It was all because of that that she dared to call her here in the first place.
She made her excuse that it was to get her duke right away, but in fact, there was no way he wouldn’t have noticed the anomaly that she noticed.
It was then.
Kwaaang!
The cold air exploded in close proximity.
Gaon hurriedly leaped backwards, feeling the self-defense that wrapped around his body freeze.
‘Let’s calm down.’
Now is not the time to focus on anything else. Hirencia is now anyway, and she will arrive here soon. It was a victory for this side as long as they endured.
Beopbeopbeobung!
Isabella’s baptism of feathers continuously rained down and struck the arc lich’s shield.
The heat began to neutralize the cold.
Gaon saw that and sent a telegram to Lougiena.
– Lugiena. Can you take down an arch lich like other undead?
-You mean you can sever the link between the lich and the life force vessel?
-Yes. You’re right. Is it possible
-… No. That’s not allowed. I would have already done it
-Okay. All right.
The lich is a form in which a fallen mage from a high state obtained eternal life through human sacrifice.
The soul is contained in a small vessel, so the lich has an immortal body that does not die even after being killed.
Right now, his life force vessel must be somewhere, and that must have been the world beyond the rift.
But heading across the rift to kill him would be half suicidal, so we had to find another way.
In fact, the reason I asked Lougiena just now was to prepare for an emergency.
There were already a few tricks to deal with him.
Chew! Let’s go!
Rujiena, who approached Archlich first, used her two daggers to rotate her body and unleash a series of attacks that were difficult to follow.
The bloody trail continued biting tail after tail, violently biting at the weakened protective barrier.
‘I don’t know.’
Rougie I chewed on her lips.
Her mind is death.
Anything in the world, even the soul, cannot escape death in her hands.
And the Uinogi combined with the Mystic Eye presents the most efficient way to kill the opponent. That pitch has never gone wrong so far.
But not now.
An Arch Lich is a person whose body and soul are separated. She even resurrects her dead as her reversed being, so it can be said that she is the opposite of her.
What should I do to kill an already dead being again? I have already realized her answer to that.
‘Just kill the soul.’
However, the being whose soul is out of reach doesn’t know what to do yet.
Perhaps solving this is the condition for her to reach her 11th star.
As Rouziena backs away from her counterattack, she cuts in with Alexander this time by her side.
“Die!”
Awesome!
Divine power is fraud and superlativeness.
Alexander’s attack was never more powerful than Rugiana’s from an objective point of view, but due to the superiority of the match, it created a huge crack in the entire shield that had been hacked to pieces.
Gaon dug into the gap.
“Haaaaap!”
Kwaaaaang!
The combined blow of strength beyond the limits of the race and now second to none mana shattered the weakened protective shield.
The Arch Reach also bounced back significantly unlike before, as if it couldn’t be safe from the aftermath.
The guy who had been walking away looked around at Gaon and his companions, then vomited a flash of light.
Ooooo!!
A vast amount of mana boiled over.
The mana that was so thick that it was hard to open one’s eyes overflowed and formed a huge ball of ice on top of his grip.
“Stop!”
The moment you shout out in the ominous,
Quaching!
As he clenched his fists, the ball of ice exploded into hundreds of millions of sharp fragments, shattering the entire underground world.
It was possible to evade Gaon and Rugiana without much damage, but it was not Remian and Alexander, who were at the lower stage.
Allowing minor attacks, the whole body began to rapidly become stained with blood.
Not to mention those who are weaker than that.
“Quaaaaagh!”
“Save me, save me!”
A few knights were completely engulfed in frost fragments and eventually turned into chunks of frozen meat.
Ryze, the leader of the Knights of the Sun, tried his best to protect everyone, but it was not enough.
As the damage spread out of control, Surin shouted.
“Lemunier!”
When she called on the divine beast, a beautiful pure white bird that floated in the air with a dreamy movement above her shook her wings and formed a solid protective shield.
However, there seems to be a limit to that, too. Surin, whose complexion turned pale in an instant, stumbled.
This is because a lot of damage was inflicted in an instant, and mana consumption became extreme. Even the shock was shared with Shinsoo, and fresh blood flowed down the corners of his mouth.
Her Chorin supports her.
‘Where is he?’
Gaon, who had confirmed that far, raised his spirits again and immersed himself in finding the Arch Reach.
A frost storm raged in all directions, making it impossible to see an inch ahead. Due to the huge flow of magical power, his senses were also half paralyzed.
Gaon was suddenly enveloped in an ominous feeling.
‘No way!’
His transcendent senses already clearly remembered the shape of this entire space. It was not impossible to respond just because vision and senses were blocked.
Gaon immediately straightened his shoulders with all his might and fired the spear roughly in one direction.
Caang!
Collision with something.
Tangrang-
And the sound of rolling the ground.
His javelin was blocked and did no damage, but it did manage to dispel the terrible frost storm.
The first thing that caught Gaon’s eyes was the Arch Lich and the death knight standing in their way.
However, unlike the other knights, he had a creepy sense of pressure just by looking at him.
In contrast to him, a brilliantly shining platinum sword was laying next to him, holding a sword of frost with jet-black energy.
That is the Holy Sword Luminance that has been hidden from the imperial family for generations since the first emperor.
As expected, no matter how much he was raised from the remains of the first emperor, it seemed that he could not handle the holy sword as long as he was undead.
Gaon laughed.
“Driving me crazy.”
The victorious spirit that had barely been captured slanted again.
It was difficult to deal with even just one Arch Lich, but it would be impossible to handle if the death knight made from the remains of the first emperor joined.
It’s not just 1+1.
Being an escort for a powerful mage like the Arch Lich was tricky.
Ruggiena quickly joined the side.
“What are you going to do?”
“How do you do it? You have to hold out until it comes. The Empire’s strongest swordsman.”
“… Okay. Then which one?”
“I am in charge of His Majesty the Emperor. For the rest of you, please hold the Arch Reach as you do now. I go first!”
Gaon took off with a blast.
No matter how arch-rich you are, you can’t reproduce all the power of the first emperor during his lifetime.
It’s a fight worth fighting for.
The other four waited quietly behind Gaon. This is because he needs to get rid of the death knight so he can face the Arch Lich.
If you unconditionally separate the two, the difficulty of the fight will be much easier.
The eyes of the living and the dead crossed, and Gaon attacked at the same time as his eyes flashed.
Kwaaaaang!
A feature built into Windwalker. Effects that amplify mass and energy can only be used once per day.
So, he should save it until the last moment, but Gaon acted boldly, judging that if it wasn’t now, he wouldn’t have a chance to use it anyway.
The storm that wrapped around the spear grew in size in an instant and turned into a tsunami that seemed to sweep away everything and struck the death knight.
───!
Silent collision.
Accompanied by an explosion that the human ear could not bear, the entire ground was ripped off and blown away, creating a long tunnel underground.
The death knight could not stand the impact and flew through the air bouncing around like a ball.
Gaon did not slow down and caught up with him, unleashing a merciless attack.
A belated explosion echoes from far away.
“Suck!”
Kaaang!
The guy’s armor is dented here and there. However, in real time, jet-black smoke can be seen gathering and reproducing.
As if she had escaped the shock of the first blow, she was now slowly defending against the attack.
‘As expected, persistent.’
Endad has no will.
Even if there is, it is nothing more than an adjustment made to make it easier for the caster to control, unless the soul was put in as it is.
Therefore, of course, the death knight in front of him could not use intention, prayer, or imagery.
However, instead, the durability of the body is beyond imagination, and it has the strength of infinitely regenerating without dying from any attack.
That’s why, while Gaon unilaterally gained the upper hand, something happened that he couldn’t let his guard down.
In the end, it would be difficult to defeat him first and then join the other party.
The seemingly never-ending fight with him entered a lull with the appearance of one person.
“Haap!”
Hirencia, who fell from the sky like a flash, aimed at her gap and stretched out her sword.
Kaaang!
That attack, of course, didn’t do much damage to the death knight. If he was a guy who could be beaten so easily, he would have finished it long ago.
Hirencia continued the confrontation for a while, then realized that she was overwhelmingly pushed out of her strength, so she lightly leaped and landed next to Gaon.
“Gaon. Are you okay?”
“Herencia. You are here.”
“Yes! My father is dealing with the Arch Lich behind him.”
Even though he didn’t say anything, Hirencia, who noticed his intentions, pointed at her from behind.
As I focused my attention there, there was a man wielding a sword hovering around Arch Reach.
‘Austin Chevrons.’
The head of the Duke of Chevrons, and a transcendental figure who has reached the level of 11, called the sword of the Pentra Empire.
And he is the strongest man in the empire who will become his father-in-law in the future.
His sword was beyond imagination.
It cut through the space itself through a sword attack as if it had brought out an intangible resource called intention, not simply strong power, into reality.
It was to the point where I could see the protective film that had been persistently enduring even in the face of Gaon’s wave of attacks.
Chow ah!
The Arch Lich, who couldn’t keep up with the speed, allowed a blow, and his arm made of pure white bones was cut off and rolled on the floor.
Normally, he would have regenerated his bones casually, but unfortunately he couldn’t do that now.
Because the connection between space itself was severed, as a result of it being carved into the world, his arm couldn’t regenerate.
Austin Chevrons’ intention is amputation.
There is nothing in the world that his sword cannot cut, and more than one cut can never be healed.
That’s why he was able to defeat the Archlich and save the empire from the crisis even in the situation of his previous life, which was much worse.
